FALL RIVER — Spending the night in the bedroom where Abby Borden was brutally murdered in 1892 may give some people goosebumps. But to fans of the unsolved murder case, it’s a delicious prospect.

The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast is once again auctioning off a stay in the John Morse room for the night of Aug. 4, the 122nd anniversary of the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden.

The eBay auction began on Sunday, the 87th anniversary of the death of Lizzie Borden, accused of murdering her father, Andrew, and stepmother, Abby, in the house they shared at 92 Second St.

The starting bid was $100. By Monday morning, it was up to $255. Twenty-five fans had placed bids. The auction runs until June 11.

Abby was found face down on the floor in a pool of blood between the bureau and left side of the bed in the John Morse room. Andrew’s body was discovered on the couch in the parlor. Both had been hacked to death with a hatchet.

The heinous nature of the crime shocked Fall River, and news of the murder spread across the country and world.

Lizzie was tried for the murders and acquitted in June 1893.

Lee-Ann Wilber, curator of the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, started auctioning off the John Morse room for the murder anniversary years ago due to the years-long waiting list for the room.

“It’s not about getting the highest price,” Wilber said. “The auction is to make it fair. I wanted to give everyone their best shot.”

The other seven rooms in the house, including the room where Lizzie Borden slept, are already booked for the anniversary of the murders.

This year’s highest bidder will receive special gifts and a gift certificate to a local restaurant. They will also be treated to a breakfast reminiscent of the Bordens' last meal — minus the mutton broth.

All overnight guests will take part in a spooky yet educational tour of the house, including the basement. They will hear the history of the murder case and gain insight into the Bordens’ lives.

Wilber said other surprises await on the murder anniversary night.

Those not staying the night can still tour the house and be part of the annual re-enactment on Aug. 4. The annual event draws hundreds of people. Tours will begin at 10:30 a.m.
